Question

For the thermodynamic process shown in the figure.
PA=1×105Pa;PB=0.3×105Pa
PD=0.6×105Pa;VA=0.20litre

VD=1.30litre

Solution

Work done along AD is equal to the area under the line AD.
Let E be the intersection between AB and straight line through D.
Let G and F be the points on x axis completing the rectangle EDFG
Area under AD= Area of triangle ADE+ Area of rectangle EDFG
=12×AE×ED+EG×ED
=12×(PAPD)×(VDVA)+(PD0)×(VDVA)
=12×0.4×105×1.1×103+0.6×105×1.1×103
=22+66=88J
